After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

"Young master, my sister-in-law already told you to leave. Can't you understand human language?"

As a loud voice rang out, Lan Tingzhi walked in.

Meng Yu narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at the newcomer. Seeing that he was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, he guessed his identity.

"Is this how the Lan family raises their children?" Meng Yu raised the corners of his lips and smiled casually.

"The family rules of the Lan family vary from person to person. We will treat guests who come to our door with courtesy, but if someone enters without invitation and trespasses on our door, we will have to kick them out."

As he spoke, Lan Tingzhi walked up to Meng Yu and stood in front of him.

Meng Yu lifted his eyelids, glanced at Lan Tingzhi, and said casually, "Oh? Then you give it a try."

Lan Tingzhi looked annoyed, and it seemed that the two were about to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Gan Cai'er immediately spoke up to stop her.

"Little bean, don't be rude."

Lan Tingzhi refused and was about to say something more, but seeing Gan Cai'er's unusually stern face, he had no choice but to shut up, step back, and stand aside.

Seeing that Lan Tingzhi had taken a step back, Gan Cai'er turned to Meng Yu.

“Young Master Wu, since you want to discuss the order, why don’t we go to the shop? There are sample garments and embroidery patterns there, which will be more intuitive.”

Gan Cai'er just wanted to get rid of this big shot as soon as possible; given her current status, she couldn't afford to offend Meng Yu. Once she got to the shop, with Boss Zhang, the waiters, and the embroiderers, they could help her deal with the situation to some extent.

"Alright."

Meng Yu could see Gan Cai'er's annoyance and didn't want to upset her further. He stood up, took a step and walked out. As he passed by Lan Tingzhi, he suddenly smiled.

"Little bean, hehehe, what an adorable nickname."

"That does fit the image of a little guy who hasn't even grown all his hair yet."

Meng Yu's smile was wicked.

Lan Tingzhi instantly bristled, clenching his fists tightly.

"Meng Yu! Shut up!" Gan Cai'er roared in fury.

Meng Yu paused, then abruptly turned around. He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Gan Cai'er: "Do you know who I am?"

Even Feng Zhao's gaze changed, turning sharp as he looked at Gan Cai'er.

Gan Cai'er was suddenly jolted awake, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She clenched her fists, forcing herself to remain calm, and said with a stern face, "Is it so hard to know who you are?"

"You signed a huge order at Jinxiufang, so naturally the store will try to verify it from various sources. Who knows if you're a scammer!"

Although Gan Cai'er didn't know why Meng Yu used the alias "Wu Ming," based on her understanding of him, he had never bothered to hide his identity. Therefore, there should be quite a few people in Danzhou Prefecture who knew his true identity.

Sure enough, Meng Yu stared at her for a few moments, then said nothing more and walked away.

Gan Cai'er went back to her room and tidied up a bit before getting into a carriage and heading to Jinxiufang.

Meng Yu and Feng Zhao rode their horses, following behind the carriage.

“Miss, who is this young master Wu? I think he has ill intentions,” Xiao Hong said.

"His surname isn't Wu, it's Meng. He's a distinguished person from the capital, someone we can't afford to offend. We should avoid him if we see him in the future."

"Why should we hide? Just because someone is important doesn't mean they can just barge into other people's homes. Is there no law anymore?" Lan Tingzhi said indignantly.

Gan Cai'er sighed and gently advised Lan Tingzhi.

"The common people should not fight against the officials. Unless absolutely necessary, do not offend these high-ranking officials."

"Little bean, you need to rein in your fiery temper. When you're out in the world, you can't just rely on being brave and fierce. The world is dangerous, and it's not just about fighting and killing."

After saying that, Gan Cai'er leaned against the carriage wall and closed her eyes to rest. She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

She really couldn't understand what Meng Yu was trying to do with his strange behavior.

Could it be that, just as he said in his past life, he really fell in love with her at first sight?

"Pah! She doesn't believe it! A liar full of lies!" Gan Cai'er spat inwardly.

Sweet words and flattery are Meng Yu's most common tricks for seducing women; you can't believe a single word he says. Anyone who does is doomed!

However, the nineteen-year-old Meng Yu was indeed very different from the twenty-six-year-old him. He was more naive and arrogant, and had not yet become completely unrestrained, unruly, and romantic as he would later become.

The carriage was moving slowly when suddenly there was a loud "bang," and it lurched as if someone had crashed into it.

"Stop thief! Stop thief!"

"Don't let that thief get away!"

Following the collision, a cacophony of running footsteps and chaotic shouts erupted in the distance.

"What happened?" Gan Cai'er asked.

“Someone bumped into our carriage. It looks like a thief. There are a lot of people chasing after him,” Mo Yan replied.

Gan Cai'er lifted the curtain of the carriage window and glanced outside. This was a shortcut they took every day, a back alleyway with very few pedestrians, making it easy for the carriage to travel. Mo Yan liked this route very much and enjoyed the ride.

At this moment, a man was seen slumped beside the carriage wheel, panting heavily. He was rubbing his leg, his face showing pain, as if he had injured his leg and could not stand up for the time being.

Gan Cai'er frowned secretly. This man had a shifty look and didn't look like a good person at all.

When the man saw Gan Cai'er lift the curtain, he looked up, grinned at her, and revealed a row of yellow and black teeth. Gan Cai'er felt even more nauseous and quickly slammed the curtains back shut.

"Moyan, don't stop here, let's go quickly."

"Young Madam, the wheels are stuck in the collision and we can't move. I'll go see if I can fix it."

With that, Mo Yan jumped off the carriage shaft.

"I'm going to help too."

Lantingzhi also jumped off the carriage.

Just as the two were about to ask the man to move aside, a large group of people rushed up from behind.

"He's the one who stole my purse! Quick, grab him!" a middle-aged man shouted, pointing at the man slumped on the ground.

"Anyone who dares to come closer, I'll stab them to death!" The man, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly pulled out a dagger and pointed it at the crowd.

A group of people stopped two steps away, and no one dared to approach for a moment.

"I have twenty taels of silver in my purse. Whoever catches him and gets the silver back for me will receive five taels as a reward!"

Meng Yu suddenly frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

He carefully observed the group of people, all of whom were men in their twenties or thirties. They didn't look like street vendors or passersby, but rather like a group of vagrants.

Moreover, their positioning was more like surrounding the carriage than surrounding the thief.

A sense of vigilance suddenly rose in his heart.

Just then, with a clang, the dagger slipped from the man's hand and fell to the ground.

It turned out that Lan Tingzhi had kicked the dagger out of the man's hand.

"Alright, you can take them away now."

"Hurry up, we still need to repair the carriage."

Lan Tingzhi kicked again, sending the dagger even further away.

"Thank you, young hero, thank you, young hero~~~" the middle-aged man said repeatedly.

Then, the group swarmed towards the man who was slumped on the ground, punching and kicking him.

The man screamed in pain as he was beaten, then desperately tried to crawl under the carriage. As soon as he did, the others tried to pull him out...

As a result, the carriage began to sway as the crowd pushed it.

"Hey, what are you doing? Stop right now!" Little Red screamed in alarm from inside the carriage.

Seeing that things were going badly, Mo Yan and Lan Tingzhi hurriedly pushed those who were close to the carriage away. However, even the best fist can't fight against many hands; how could the two teenagers possibly withstand the surging crowd?

"Stop! Don't push the carriage! If you don't stop, I won't be so polite!" Lan Tingzhi shouted.

"And who are you?! We're arresting thieves, are you trying to protect them?"

"This man must be in cahoots with the thieves! Otherwise, why would the thieves come to his carriage?"

"That's right, that's right, maybe there are other accomplices hiding in the carriage!"

"Overturn this carriage and shake the people out to see!"

"Yes, flip it over, flip it over~~~"

One person stirred things up, and suddenly the crowd was in an uproar. Mo Yan and Lan Tingzhi stood on either side of the carriage, struggling to protect it, clumsy and in a sorry state.

"Young Master, there seems to be something amiss here," Feng Zhao said gravely.

"You just realized that?" Meng Yu raised an eyebrow and sneered.
